Mr. Sausage Meets a Hungry Dog
There’s something very raw about Stacey Louise Joy’s illustrations — which she does with pencils and colored pencil in between. I find them endearing because of the plot of her stories — which she also illustrates. It mostly involves a penguin, a cat, a dog, and a sausage (although not necessarily in that order).

Crayonlegs
Tuesday July 15, 2008
Crayonlegs is home to Sarah and Duncan who both have their own quirky, offbeat illustration styles. (You must, must have a look at their intro animation!)
I love Sarah’s newest experimental illustrations at the literal translation of facial hair — go on, have a peek and tell me that didn’t make you snigger.
Duncan’s work ranges from strong and colorful; to muted and natural tones, but is no less interesting. My fave has got to be his subjects’ full lips.
Both of them offer prints up for sale at their shop, and they’re both based in the UK too.

Have you read an interview with Mattias Adolfson over at Interviewr?
He’s my moleskine hero! :)

Avert your eyes!
Saturday April 26, 2008
Well, I never thought it would come to this, but I think this image (you need to click on it to see the FULL picture because it’s a little NSFK — Not Safe For Kids) is so hilarious! Inappropriate food containers make a mean pair, according to Salva Lopez! And you can wear them too — it’s printed on a t-shirt available on Shirt City.
P/S — I’m not sure what response I’ll get and I might take it down in the morning (it might not seem so funny to me then), but if you find this offensive, PLEASE let me know!

she makes me roll on the floor

Kate Beaton does. I’m not sure if it’s just me, but everytime I see a new comic from this fantastically funny lady, I feel all giddy and happy. Better still if you’re into history, because that’s her forte.
Oh, have a gander at her about page, I guarantee it’ll crack you right up too.
Yes, I’ve posted her up at my other blog, but that doesn’t count. Especially when I think her comics about John Paul II is funny and sweet at the same time (I hope this isn’t offensive in any way!).
Find all her comics here and keep up with her journal here.

Eggcited about Easter cards
I know I’m late for this, but the lovely Happy Easter cards by Heidi Burton are just too cute to pass up!
Lovebugs; Little Teapot greeting cards
The UK-based illustrator originally started her Etsy store selling her illustrations, but recently opened her Making Strangers Etsy Store to specifically sell her cards.
Her blog is also a wonderful read. Check out her recent Moleskine adventure where she had to stay up through the night to finish a journal for moleskine.com. Here’s a couple of pages from her blog entry:
Incredible!

Argyle Academy
Thursday February 21, 2008
Mike Lowery is a DC area artist who teaches art and design. His Argyle Academy comics are quietly hilarious and details the antics of Alexander, Matthew, Stockholm and Lionel the vampire cat; along with a few fruits.
A page from his journal
Places of interest in a small and haunted New England Town
His work is fresh and funny — I love the dialogs between his characters and his expressive linework; and his illustrations documented in his blog.
Oh, and he sells his originals drawings and tees in his shop too!
